Brief Answer:
Yes but reducing dose will be more appropriate

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Since you are not tolerating the 10 mg abilify it will be better to lower the current dose so minimization of side effects can be done.

I will not recommend complete removal as it can be increased more gradually as per the plan of your doctor. Since you are hypertensive abilify is first choice among antispychotics.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards
